Which short phrase or abbreviation could I use here to mean and other things?
The medulla oblongata controls respiration and cardiovascular rhythm ____.
Etc. would not fit as it carries the connotation of the continuation being obvious, while the phrase I'm looking for would mean that it was omitted for other reasons, e.g., brevity.
The text is intended only for me, but I'd still prefer a phrase or abbreviation that would be recognised by others, too.

Use i.a. It's Latin; inter alia means among other things. If etc. was ever a viable choice, then another Latin abbreviation should be no problem.
